de.das.dude · Oct 4, 2010

i bought my WD HDD. then put it in ase and connected and all.

i went to computer>manage>disk management.
the drive showed up and i selected format. its been 2hrs since formatting. after hitting 100%, the hdd is stuck.
it has beeen at 100% for around 10-15minutes now.

is everything ok?

restart and do it again if its not 'formatted?' already

Bo$$ · Oct 4, 2010

do a quick format this time

I know it's basics, but I'm just asking to make sure, don't take me wrong (I know you know stuff). But, did you clear the CMOS before you booted?

Why would he do that? I've never done that, ever.

Heh, I do that for HDDs, CPUs and expansion cards (IRQs). I've tested not doing it when installing RAM and it doesn't make a difference, but with the others solved some troubles clearing the CMOS. Sometimes I just do it for peace of mind. It's not like it's too much of a hassle, take jumper on/move to 2nd position, install hardware, take jumper off/move to original position. For even more peace of mind, change the jumpers and take out the battery...but either one alone is fine.

I'd expect a guy with an avatar that includes the words, "hardware surgeon" to be able to install an HDD. No offense. Merely amused.

Combine what Tokio and Bo$$ said. Restart->NTFS Quick format.

There is no need to clear the CMOS.
